10 CHINESE IMMIGRATION. SHE MINORITY REPORT OF REPRESENTATIVE MEADE OF THE JOINT SELECT COMMITTEE. Wasutxatox, Feb. 28, 1877. The report of the joint select committee on the sub- Ject of Chinese immigration was presented to the Rouse to-day by Representative Piper. It 1s the same as that presented yesterday in the Senate by Mr. Sar- Tb, Representative Meade, of New York, the other mem- ber of the committee on the pari of the House, dis- sented from some of the conclusions of the report of the majority, and presented his views on tho subject, in which be says for soveral years the people of the Pacitic coast, and of California particularly, have en- @eavored by State und municipal regulation to dis- courugo or to an extent interdict this Chinese influx, To this end laws were passed which, for the -eredit of tho country, had botter never beeo placed upon the statute book of any State; but it is only just to say that their impropriety 1s now gen- erally conceded and explanation oftered for their enact- ment; that tho country was new, legislation of any kind not always the wisest, tbe evil (for so they regard Chinese immigration) was m novel one, and they set to work by the most expeditious and direct metnods to attain the esired end. Happily for the Jurisprudence of the country all this species of class discriminating and re- Btrictive State legislation to which I allude has been declared invalid in the several cases recently decided 4n the Supreme Court of the United States. These de- cisions have caused the people of the Pacitic coast to seek federal interference for relief from the tls which they feel they suffer by roason of this Chinese immigration, i NABITS OF THE CHINKER, After alluding to the failacy of an unrestricted 1m- migration, Mr. Meade says the personal babits of our visitors formed an important feature of tho investiga- tion, and that the Chineso—at least a large proportion of those who come to this country—are ne:ther vir- tuous nor cleanly was abundautly proven, In fact, less evidence on that bead would huve been quite as conclusive and even more agreeable to the committee, Accept as a tact what will never bo disputed, that the coolic is any- thing bat 4 desirabie neighbor; still, it goes but a lite way to prove that he 13 unfit for a residence among us, while in San Francisco aud other considerable towns on the Pacitic Slope his condition und treatment go a Jong way to prove detects in those municipal govern- ments and their regulations, Indeed, the disclosures wero not favorable to the city government of Sau Fran- cisco. No complaint can be justly found with the off- ciala, but the Jaws which are provided at Sacramento are inadequate, and suggest the necessity of a thorough revision, For illustration:—The entire po- lice force for putrol and harbor duty being 120 in num- ker, and defective iu discipline, in a town of nearly 800,000 population, made up of elements trom all parts of the world, would seem to offer no serious impe ment to a conflict of races; and the testimony justifies the chargo that this police contributes to ruther than prevents the corrosive feeling which 1s fust being, If hot already, permanently engendered between them. IMPORTATION OF WOMEN. Respecting the importation of women for immoral Purposes, the facts disclose that while the practice is discountenaneed by the better portion of the Chinese * resident in Calttornia, yet 1b exists and 1s encouraged in its most revolting phases, which credible testimony indicates even fatls short of a full exposure of tne degradation of morais at home among the lower order of Chinese, THE LABOR QUESTION, ‘The aspect of Cuinese immigration, Mr, Meade says, Is most considered by the public in its relations to Jabor, and it1s not improbable that something of the proverbial hostility between labor und cupital bas served heretofore to maguity its {mportance. The tes- timony did not stow a surplus of labor, but it ts wate 10 conclude that the present liberal wages of the Pacific coust cannot be maintained with any considerable increase of the labor elemea' Employed to a limited extent in imines, everywhere, as u servant and in all sorts of meuial work, as farm hund, us worker im tule lands, in building railroads, ut work in hghter branches of munutacturing and a muititude of other occupations, bo has readily adapted himself and given satis- faction, while working for less wages than his ‘white competitor, In this instance the conditions Which usually apply to regulate supply and deman are ipoperative. Tbe want of mobility in lubor ulways oukes 1i exceptional, bat in the case of the Coinese, or more properly coolies, {t 18 yet notable. Coolie immi- granion as a labor question in this country would alone impart to it « political complexion, and tn this Tespect it bas lost none of its importance by reason of the action of both political purties that conspicuously have entered w race to demonstrate Which shall yo furthest and tarry longest in opposition to tho Chinese immigrant, But the farther puase of its political character is, With what political rights and privileges this class is in the future to be invested? DANGERS FROM THE COOLIKS, Bot, whether endowed with citizenship or oth wise, a large population of Chinese in our midst must be franght with the greatest concern to our tuture eliare. With the characteristics described it not pniy invites the natural and irrepressible conflict of races, Dut threutens, by the very welght and force of wumbery, to crowd out und overwheim our own race, The generous wages, a lib- eral government aud the preseuce here already of 80 Mavy of tis countrymen combine to cucourage the coviie to immigrate and to establish himself among us, with bis peculiar ideas and customs, and should the wiite race mainuin its rolative supremacy 4 in this country; yet the Mongolian inakt exist us ‘Sn irritating cuase, or be, a8 described by D. A. Wells, ‘a stoue in the stomach of the body pulitic, which will neither digest nor assimilate.” RELATIONS OF THE TWO GOVERNMENTS, While it is obvious that measures shouid be adopted restricting this growing coohe iminigration a wise policy suggests due consideration and regard for exist- ing treaty obligations with Chinu. ‘The location of tke 1wo countries javors the movopolization by the eoergy und enterprise of our citizens of tho large and growing commerce with China, England has PROTECTION FOR RAILROADS. PROPOSED LEGISLATION IN MASSACHUSETTS GROWING OUT OF THE BOSTON AND MAINE STRIKE. Bostox, Feb, 28, 1877. ‘The recent strike of the engineers on the Boston and Maine Railroad is likely to be productive of some wholesome legislation by which unwarranted incon- venience and troubie to the public will be guarded against, The Legislative Committee on Railroads gavo a hearing this morning on the subject, at which there ‘was quite a large attendance, including a delegation of the striking engineers of the Boston and Maine road, Mr, P, McArthur, Chiel of the Locomotive Engineers; President White, Mr. Choate, couusel of the Boston und Maine road, and other prominent railroad men, WAR AGAINST PRE PASSES TO LUGISLATORS, Mr. George T.

ARSON RESOBTED TO BY TRUSTED OFFICIALS TO COVER THE PROOFS OF PECULATION. San Fraxcisco, Cal, 1877. Some weeks ago the burning of the Court House of Monterey county, at Satinas, was telegraphed. Inves- tigation since conducted by the local authorities, with the aide of a San Francisco detective officer, appears to show that the building was fired tor the purpose of destroying the records and covering a defalcation in the tax collector’s office amounting to about $20,000, It appears to be proven to reasonabie certainty that moat of the money had been gambled off by WwW. M. Bumsey, deputy collector, and it is believed that number of prominent citizens of Salinas, iucluding certain county officials, have becn winning it, Collector M. A, Castro hus re- signed, Rumsey was locked up and is awaiting exam- ination, and several prominent citizens were arrested for complicity. ‘The detectives intimate the belicf thata strong ring exists among the county efticials and others; that they have been plundering the public Jor # long time, and that many of the officials ure doing eve <Prrang tid their power to deieat the ends of justice, including County Judge Webb, Thero is great excite- Ment among the citizena, who claim it is their inten- per to use every legal means to bring the offenders to justice, SETTLING AN OLD DEBT. THE STATE OF MINNESOTA OFFERING TO COM- PROMISE ITS OBLIGATIONS ON BEHALY OF DEFAULTING RAILROADS. St. Pau. Minn., Feb, 28, 1877. A bill bas passed both branches of the Minnesota Legislature for adjusting the old railroad mortgage debt against tho Stato. This debt consists of $2,275,000 in State bonds loancd to the defaulting railroad com- panies in 1859, bearing soven per cent interest for eighteon years, but little of which has ever beon paid. Selab Chumberlain is holder of nearly half of these bonds, and he made a proposition to the State to accept now State bonds bearing six per cent interest for tho old Minnesota bonds, at the rato of $1,600 in now bonds for each $1,000 of old ones, thus making considerable reduction iu overdue iuterest. It 1s sup- posed that all otuer holders of old bongs will gladly offer the sume terms as 500,000 acres of “internal im- provement lands” belonging to the State will be used to pay tho Interest on the new bonds and algo to create a sinking fand for the redemption of the principal This proposition for adjusting this old debt against the State on this basis will be sub- mitted to the people for their ratification on the [2th of June, and as it passed both branches of the Legisia- ture almost unanimously, it 18 thought the popul: vote will be recorded in favor of this important mea- sure, ARREST OF A MAIL ROBBER.

A MURDERER SENTENCED. for the refusal of the ermploydés to draw the cars of another corporation which is in trouble with its em- ployés, Mr. Arthur suid no inember was bound by oath to engage in ustrike. There were uoscrupylous managers of raiiways who would not hesitate to put 1ncompetent men on their trains to accomplish their ends. And this was the reason why they usked for « luw to prevent the employment of such men, The brotherhood bad never bud any troubie whero they found practical men to deal with at the head of araiiroad, He said that be could show that men were put on tho Boston und Maino engines who were not competent to run them, and who had Deen discharged jor drunkeouess from other rouds. The brotherhood had been mustor of the situation on three ditlerent roads, and bad never taken an ucfair advan- tage. He defined a competent engincer as a temperate man, who could read aud write, who had experience of at jeast one year, and should be schooled in ull tho wig- nals of the road on which he was to run. Seventy-five per cent of the engineers of the roads of this country had been promoed from firemen. If they were to be examined ho would suggest a board cousisting of a good train despatcher, master mechanic and practical locomotive engineer. 18 THE WOSTON AND MAINE ROAD UNSAFE? Mr. H. P. Langley, of Boston, stated that he had been to the Boston aud Maine road to sell out all the stock be bud in it, and the Treasurer told him that they were Tunuing twenty-seven trains short. George FE. M’Neil thought the bills were an unjust interierenco between the employés and tho employers, aud detrimental to the public wellure, He knew that the livos of the pas- sengers on the Boston aod Maine road were unsale, aud there was more danger in going from Boston to Lawrence than a voyage to Eagland. Charles F. Choate, counsel tor the Boston and Maino railroad, and Commissiouer Adams, in bebalf of the Bourd, declared that tho road was sale. FATHER KELLY’S FUNERAL LARGE ATTENDANCE OF CLERGY AND PUBLIC Uitverto been the great Power with that nation; bat it is well understood that we are fast yain- ing Uke ascendancy and that the Chinese government lees « keener sympathy aud higher consideration for dis wation, Mr. Meade suggests that the tmmigation of mer- chants, men of education, students and capitalists should be encouraged and every uninendly obstacle im the way of — their residence here removed, The French government § established 4 professorsiiip of the Chinese lal Fuage.

The low drinking saloons that abound in that locality serve as a screcn and hiding place for them alter committipg crimes, They also defy the Jaw, and if one of their be arrested they will either frighten the officers from performing their duty or rescue their ‘pal’ by force. Such was the caso last hight when Oilicer Sul- livan, of the Mulberry stroct Polico Station, who was omduty in Bayard street, attempted to arrest one of their“‘gang.”” ‘The oflicer bad hardly taken bold of his dranken prisoner when he was set upon by about 200 of the crowd that infest that quarter, and are known as the “Tiger Gang.’?

STIMATES. NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 1877.-TRIPLE A DEAD SECRET. DISCOVERY OF 4 6KELETON IN A HARLEM LOT— SUPPOSED TO BE THAT OF THE VICTIM OF A MURDER COMMITTED TWENTY-FIVZ YEAS AGO. ‘The adage that ‘murder wi!l out” which bas an application as old as the history of crime, appears to have yesterday met with another illustration, On of Third avenue and 120th street a of men have laiely been employed io digging a cellar, A number of houses aro to be erected on the block, aud the cor- ner lots, which tor years have been vacant, are the sites selected for the new buildings. While Jobo Murphy, One of these laborers, was bollowing out a secon of the ground located on 126th strect, about 100 feet from Third avenue, bis shovel struck some hard substance quite close to eth surface, which he at first believed to be a stonc. When he had partially uncovored It, however, he ‘ound that it was connected with something under- neath, This led to an examination, and the laborer discovered, to his horror, that it was a skull and the upper portion of a human frame be had been trying to unearth, Murphy made known his discovery; the laborers gathered around, and the work of uuearthing the skeleton was resumed more cautiously. In ashort time the whole of it had been disinterred, and tho skeleton of an adalt was lifted from the spot where it had lain for years, 1% was found im an oblique position, the head being only fifteen inches below the surtace, while the lower portion was at the depth of threo feet, A curious circumstance in connection with the discovery, und thatone would go to show that its interment had been conducted hastily, was the position of the limbs, These were spread out In opposite directions, as though the body bad been dropped hurriedly into @ trench which had at once been covered up, and no attempt had been made to make the disposition of it customary in Jogitimate interments, The polico were notified of the finding of the re- mains apd they were brought to the Twelfth precinct station house, where Deputy Coroner McWhinule ex- amined the bones and declared them to be, in bis opinion, about twenty or twenty-five years old, Such a startling discovery naturally gave rise toa huudred melo-dramatic hypotheses und in vouti- lating these such of the neighbors as heard the story occupied themselves yosterday afternoon, OF course the oldest iphabitants of Harlem were in general re- quest, and some of them spun out reminiscences of the place and the owners through whose hands it had passed, but nono of them were uble to furnish as important a statement as that of Christopher und George Pavel, two brothers who ure now officers in the T'wellth precinct, and who, twenty-five years ago, wero constables in the same locality. ‘They say that on the Ist of November, in the year 1841, Willtaw H. Colwell established a lumber yurd on this spot, and did business there for twonty years. His predecessor was a Mr. Jobn Studweli, now a bank president. In his time the yard was tilled with piles of jumber, and odd frames of wagons, axles, wheels and such junk wer tiered. around it, At one cud of it waya dilapidated livery stable which, even at vhut tine, had fallen into decay, and on the other side, a low drinking tavera kept by # man pvamed James, ‘This groggery Wag the resort of some of the Volunteer Fire Department vi those days, and to it also came the harder class ot boatmen and saloon loungers who infested the place at the tme. Although the tavern did not enjoy a very fair reputation, it was much*ire- quented by country poopic who brought their protuco into the city slong tHe old Boston road, and pediers and bagmen about to tra- verze Westchester county frequenily stopped there, ‘yhe oflicers who recall these reminiscences think it likely then that one of tho casual sojourners at James? tavern Was murdered for bis woney, as fact and fiction have made out guch peopie to be in similar cases ull the world over, ‘Tho perpetrator of the crime, fear- ing detection, bad hurried to dispose of the body of his victim, and so sought a hiding place upcomtortably near the tavern. A fonce, it 1s said, separated it im thoso days from the livery stable yard, and close by this, Just on the spot where tho ekeleton was found, a large pte of lumber used to stand. In the shadow of this the murderer hollowed out a shailow grave, dragged the body to 1t and cast it in, Then ho covered it with earth, and so hurriedly that be was unable to arrange it or even take the precaution of burying the bead more than a few inches underneath the surface. As the place was seldom frequented, however, tho spot of burial has remained uvdisturbed ull these years, and {8 only unearthed when everything by which the body could be identified bas rotted away, The Pubel brothers tail to remember anytbing about a missing man or the suspicion of # mysterious disap- pearance being fixed upon the tavern, but thoy think Uhat an examination of the records of those times may throw some light upon the case.
